Happy birthday Simone Weil. RIP. You hated when what's going on in the US happened in the 1930s and 1940s.

Of all the philosophers I had my students in my intro Continental philosophy of religions class read this past semester, the one they most connected to was Simone Weil, because they all said her focus on attention resonated with them in an age of constant social media stimulation.

one of the great, pernicious myths perpetrated about higher ed—which media, higher ed administrators, politicians, and a number of faculty are complicit in spreading—is that humanities departments close due to some combination of cratering student demand and unjustifiable cost. It’s not true

The @weilsociety.bsky.social is hosting its annual colloquy at Texas A&M in April '26, as well as an online conference. This group was invaluable for me during my MFA program and thesis-writing process as I read work by and about Simone Weil. Register, and as Weil would say, attend.
